Free course: How to draw a character
Six steps, one pencil, about eight minutes. Watch the video, follow along on paper, then print the practice sheet and draw it again.
Watch it first
Draw it step by step
New lines are purple. Lines you already drew turn light.
Draw a big box shape, a little wider than it is tall. Straight lines and square corners.
Slant a line back from each top corner, join them for the lid, then drop the side down.
Two lines straight down the front, then two slanted lines across the lid to the back.
A round knot where the ribbon meets the back, then one big loop up each side.
A little fold line inside each loop, then dots all over the paper. Wobbly dots are fine.
A gift tag tied to the ribbon with a short string. Now this present is yours.
Now draw a present that is wiggling because something is inside.
Practice on paper
Faint lines to trace, all six mini steps, and an empty box to draw your own. One page, works in black and white.
